I love my carbon fibre Hybrid e-bike. I've had it for 18 months, and it's taken me on many adventures. Even more; I love the outstanding service Hybrid bikes provide. Last Sunday, after a bike rack incident, Frank not only answered his work phone, he also went to his workshop so I could borrow essential tools, then early the next morning he gave me a replacement wheel so I could cycle the 4 day Taste Trail. And then when I'd finished, he squeezed me into his busy schedule so he could refurbish the bike. And he sold me a better quality e-bike rack, then patiently showed me how to use it. Amazing service, thank you so much. More adventures are on the horizon. Thank you Frank.

We purchased x2 Of Franks Hybrid bikes after viewing them personally at his workshop in Stoke. We live in chch but it was no bother to get them down to us. Franks service, attention to detail and communication has been outstanding. The bikes are well made, well designed and an absolute pleasure to ride. And to cap it off, Frank had arranged for a mobile service bike mechanic to service our bikes at our home as required. Huge Thankyou Frank. We are off!!!

I have found the M18 Sports Elite Special is ideal for the river trail cycling that I enjoy. It's weight distribution and balance is excellent and I find it easy to ride. The motor gives just the right range of power-assist and this is so helpful in the winds we get around Greater Wellington! The addition of a cat's-eye mirror and a sprung saddle post makes it safe and comfortable. Frank was very helpful when I phoned to add these to the order. In short: a great bike and excellent service.

Frank provides not just the most amazing product with his ebikes, his service is second to none. From start to finish when we bought our bikes he couldn’t have been more helpful or responsive. Then, when one of our bikes was stolen, Frank was incredibly empathetic and went out of his way to ensure a replacement bike could be provisioned as soon as the insurance process was completed. We are now totally brand loyal to Hybrid bikes. Great bikes. Even better service.

Thanks so much for all your help purchasing and setting up our Hybrid e-bikes and trailer to transport our small dog, Frank and Jim. You provide a great service we like to support a NZ company with servicing locally. Our new Sport Elite and Cruise Elite bikes are robust but with a carbon fibre frame relatively lightweight. They come with lots of extras, are comfortable and easy to ride as well as rating well with NZ Consumer. We highly recommend Hybrid e- bikes if you're looking for a quality bike which we think is good value for money

Do you remember the childrens show "The Adventures of Black Beauty", with it's iconic theme tune "Galloping Home" by Denis King? The feeling of being powerful and free that this tune gives is what I feel when I ride my own "Black Beauty" - the F18 Cruise Elite Special. It takes me up the hill to work everyday with its powerful engine and is very stable when I gallop home again downhill at super speeds. It roams free along trails with ease. Every time I ride it is a joy. Absolutely solid and reliable. I can 100% recommend you join the hybrid family.

Wow, what great bikes, the Hybrids are. My wife Jan and I decided to take a couple of Hybrid bikes out for a test ride, as we'd both like to upgrade to electric bikes so that we can go on multiday rides together as well as commute to work without getting sweaty negotiating Nelson's numerous hills. We were both pleasantly surprised how easy and enjoyable riding these Hybrid E-bikes was. Jan had the drop down top bar version as she prefers the extra ease of getting on and off that it provides and I had a standard bike frame, but with a seat dropper, which potentially made it easier to get on and off, though I didn't have any problems at all getting on and off without it, as I actually forgot I had it. This was a cafe ride, so we cycled from Nelson to Brightwater for coffee and cake. Got there a lot quicker than planned, and hardly felt we'd had any exercise, so we decided to tackle the Mt Heslington circuit. Wow, what a breeze it is to ride up a hill on a Hybrid bike. With only one gear lever to worry about, the gear changes were smooth and easy, and we could work as hard, or little, as we liked going up the hills. Perhaps the thing I most enjoyed about this fabulous afternoon out, was being able to easily adjust how much assistance I was getting from the Bafang motor, so that we could comfortably spend the afternoon riding together and chat with ease. I think Jan's highlight was riding back into the afternoon sea breeze and being able to dial up the powerful Bafang electric bike motor and power into the breeze with ease. Nothing was going to slow her down! We got back to Frank's Hybrid base in Stoke, which is at the top of a steep hill (of course) and after just under 50km I still had half my battery power and Jan still had at least a quarter of hers. I joked with Frank that I reckon I could ride to Takaka, which is 100km away, have some lunch while the battery is charging back up, and then ride back with ease. Especially given, that these bikes are relatively light, and so riding them without any battery assistance is not difficult, if you do want to conserve you battery life for any reason. We won't be wasting money on excessive Christmas presents this year as we've now got our Hybrid goals. We like the idea of each getting a Hybrid so that if one of us uses more battery power than the other, then we can switch our batteries half way through the ride, so that neither of us run out. However, you'd have to go a long way, or hit a lot of hills or head winds, to use up a full battery on a regular day ride though. Watch this space. We hope to be back on another Hybrid adventure soon, but this time on our own ones, and then we'll be able to go as far as we like without Fank worrying about whether he's going to get his trial bikes back or not! Thanks Frank, for letting us try out you Hybrid bikes - it's great to see that you've managed to design such a great bike, right here in New Zealand Cheers, Harry

I bought a Hybrid Sports Elite Special in early December 2021 and then another just before Christmas, a low bar for my wife. Since then we have been riding several times a week. We took them away with us, riding the new trails in the MacKenzie Country and Central Otago, and now have nearly completed the Great Taste Trail in Tasman. These are wonderful bikes, so easy to ride and handle. We are certainly very happy with them. It is always a pleasure dealing with Frank, his enthusiasm is contagious and his service is outstanding.

Recently purchased a light weight e gravel bike from Frank with Jim's input. An amazing bike that I am able to lift with one arm and put easily into the back of the car and also on the bike rack on my own, with little effort. Didn't go with the drop handle bars, but had a seat dropper added and so far have used the bike on forestry tracks, cycleways and the road. Been awesome to commute the 60km return trip to work on it. A colleague jokingly called it a "cheats bike" but I defy anyone to say that they cant get a good work out on it if they want to. Great coming back from work in a South easterly gale last week on the highway safely, "cheating" in nearly full power. Very reasonably priced- totally thrilled with it. many thanks Frank.

K.

Absolutely love my new bike! Frank has gone above and beyond and even helped convert this kiddies bike trailer to adapt so my dog can come cruising with me

M.

Frank is fantastic to deal with and makes sure you are happy with everything you need on your Hybrid eBike & modifications if needed etc. I needed an eBike to commute into town easier with living in hilly Tauranga, so instead of an hour ride on my regular bike, now it only takes me 30mins. So happy, especially when zipping past all the cars in traffic queues "grin". I've also now tried out my bike on a gravel cycle trail which it handled great. Awesome that you can turn the motor off & just ride with your mates as a regular bike too. Now I'm looking forward to getting out & doing some more trails. And February is Aotearoa Bike Month, so get on a bike everyone :) Another happy customer. Thanks so much Frank

Nancy and I had been riding on our standard bikes for some years. We are casual riders and we like to do Trails-we are not hard out types Suddenly our conventional bikes seemed to be hard work and we were not going out for a ride very often. We then heard about Hybrid Bikes, did some research and then visited Frank at his home workshop. From the start we could feel the right vibes with various adjustments to the bikes ,some essential riding tips and we were off for a test ride. Soon became obvious that these were the bikes for us. Frank is extremely helpful and he goes out of his way to ensure the bikes are exactly fit for the rider We thoroughly enjoy riding the bikes and now feel confident with them . The motors are powerful and effective and the technology is top notch Looking forward to a summer of cycling

Have just bought a Hybrid Sport Elite and am really pleased with it. Adds a whole new dimension to cycling when you can just head off wherever suits you rather than thinking how steep hills are. I live up a really steep hill and nice to end up at home on your bike rather than having pushed it for the last 10 minutes!! It's such a comfortable ride and I am finding a lot of the time I hardly need any extra power as it's not too heavy but so great to click that button when you need it! Frank was so helpful, I had never ridden an e bike before I went to see him but he helped me make choices to suit and I am thrilled. Love that it's kiwi designed and built too. Excited about lots of e bike trips ahead. Thanks Frank!

J.

Frank was amazing today. My husband is away and my bike rack started swivelling on the car with my bike on. Being a lady I was stuck and wondered what to do, so rang Frank who talked me through fitting it correctly to the car and bingo I was able to get home after my bike ride. To have that back up was amazing and such a relief, so again Thank you for not only your wonderful post bike service but for everything re purchase advice, accessories etc. It was greatly appreciated Jan Olissoff

H.

I bought a Hybrid e-bike a couple of months ago. Very pleased with it and it makes commuting 50 km a day very easy and much quicker than my old e-bike. Frank has provided first class service and goes the extra mile for his customers! If your thinking about buying one, just do it! You won't regret it 😊👍

Having ridden various e bikes over a total of about 8,000 Km, I recently bought a Hybrid Elite Cruiser, mainly because of the lighter, stronger carbon fibre frame. The bike has a super smooth Bafang motor, plenty of grunt for hill climbing and is comfortable, especially with a suspension seat extra fitted. Hybrid Bikes and their agent in New Plymouth are helpful and supportive. After a few tweaks at the first free service I can highly recommend these Kiwi engineered e-bikes.

B.

My new carbon fibre bike from Hybrid Bikes is not only light weight and easy to ride , but is a work of art. Having ridden bikes for many year including competitively, age and health have meant i find it to hard on the ageing body to go for rides. The Hybrid E-Bike has been a game changer for me and allows me the ability to ride with the help of the motor and give me freedom i have missed Many thanks to Frank & his great team

Review from purchaser Caroline Allum. I’m extremely happy with my new F18 Cruiser Elite (Special) ebike. I bought my bike online during lockdown after doing some internet research and having a helpful phone chat with Frank. When I collected my bike the frame was bigger than I had expected, but with the seat adjusted right down, the fit is good and the bike is very comfortable to ride. I like the upright posture which puts less strain on my neck and shoulders if riding any distance. I also got a comfort seat which I have to say was money well spent! So far I have ridden on Auckland roads and cycleways, including hills, and the bike has felt safe and easy to handle. The gears change very smoothly and the transition between assist settings is hardly noticeable. There is plenty of ‘help’ for hills. All in all this is a very smooth bike both in looks and ride! The service and communication from Frank has been excellent and I have no doubt that he and his team will be there if any problems or issues should ever arise. This is a good feeling given the investment required to own a good ebike. I’m so pleased that I chose a Hybrid bike and it’s also great to be supporting a NZ business.

B.

I bought a M-18 sport elite last year and been riding the bike to work for 6 months, done about 1000kms and the bike is awesome! All the power you need to get up hills and keep up with traffic. I can get to work in 15 mins instead of 45 mins on the bus or $20 for car parking. It's changed my life 🙂 Ben

J.

I love my Hybrid Bike! I purchased my M18 Speedmaster in 2019 and wish I had got one much earlier. Now that I have my Hybrid, I bike a lot more. I commute over 150kms a week in Wellington over multiple hills and often in gale force winds. The power and quality design of the bike make the trip a breeze. I have now done 14,000 kms and counting. The bike has some handy safety features, including nice bright lights which makes me feel safe on my early morning rides. What stands out most of all though is the service provided by Frank and the team at Hybrid. Extremely responsive and they go the extra mile every time. Very happy with my purchase.

K.

We bought our bikes a few months ago and couldn't be happier with them. The bikes have been custom built to our spec and are therefore so comfy to ride You can choose how soft you want your seat and how upright a riding style you prefer (amongst other things) Great for all the cycle ways being constructed. Would highly recommend.

g.

I wanted a quality e-bike and I certainly have that with the M18, but what I also have come to find is that it is backed by top quality service and rapid assistance that you only get buying NZ made and from a team that is passionate about what they do.

L.

We rode today for the first time in 2 years so not really at peak fitness levels however on Frank's Hybrid Bikes we took on over 50kms without a second thought. The seats were uber comfortable with full suspension making going over bumps and holes a breeze . Highly recommend these as the best electric bikes on the market. Tailored to what we wanted so definitely the personal touch. Frank knows his stuff.

A.

I am extremely happy with my new ebike! Frank and Jim were exceptionally helpful with their advice from Day 1! With Frank's expertise and endless patience with me, I now have a very comfortable ebike - fitted out especially for me which I am thoroughly enjoying, considering I was " never going to buy an ebike"! I highly recommend HYBRID BIKES LIMITED. The service is just the best - and nothing is ever a problem!! Thank you Frank!

D.

Happiness is my Hybrid. The carbon fibre frame makes it so light I can bike with no power when I’m feeling like a ‘workout’ but I have the power, when I need it. Frank and Jim are great to deal with - nothings a problem and they are genuinely passionate about their MOST EXCELLENT Hybrids, as am I. One happy Hybrid owner .. thanks Frank and Jim.

R.

Bought a sport Hybrid a few months ago with Jim's expert help.. I must say I have been out and about around the Island biking up hill and down.. From Queenstown to Arrowtown...Coffee Culture Christchurch bike Trail ...Sumner to Lyttleton over Evan's pass...nothing holds me back now... absolutely love my " Miss Daisy " keeping up with my partner now makes our trips even more satisfying. Thank you Frank and Jim you guys "Rock"

One year on and still loving my M18 bike ,great for exercise,lots of fun and excellent design and build quality,one of my best purchases ever

H.

Frank's German expertise and eye for detail and cutting edge design ensures that his Hybrid Bikes are not only built to last, but look great and provide a beautiful ride, as you'd expect from German engineering. Hybrid Bikes know that their customers are one of their biggest assets and so they are focused on superior customer service which ensures customer loyalty. At least take one of these bikes for a ride - you won't be disappointed. You're more likely to become the envy of your friends. Harry Pearson (Passionate cyclist and traveler).

There has obiously been considerable thought and engineering put into producing the Hybrid bikes. They are an extremely smooth ride with powerful assist for an extended long journey. Congratulations Hybrid Bikes Ltd. for bringing to the market a quality product using well proven quality components. Good luck for the future.

Frank and jimmy spent plenty of time explaining about their bike story. Had a test ride , brilliant , easy operation and effortless. My models in development, keep up the great work. Well done

G.

I had heard all the reviews so decided I had to try one myself. 50k later, I'm blown away, these are fantastic.... soo much lighter than our friends electrics that we did our ride with. Also, our friends electric shut down with 25% charge.

R.

Quality bike. So impressed with it I bought one. Rides a like a dream. German engineering at a great value price. Recommended.

I have been searching for months to purchase and E.Bike. When I came across The Hybrid Bikes In Nelson and started reading up on this New Zealand Company I became very interested, Being a Carbon Fibre Frame made in NZ that carries a life time Warranty on workmanship, a lighter bike than the others I was looking at, which my wife can handle. I made contact and asked if any Bike Shops sold these bike close to Pukekohe. Frank immediately e mailed me back with an incentive re a petrol voucher if I traveled up to Botany which we did on the Sunday. I rode the bike and was very impressed , bought the bike, saddle bag and a new helmet for Wendy. We are keen to hit the Hauraki Trial this weekend with my Sister and her Husband Colin.
